Geo. H. Rowden does not claim to 

 know it all, simply because he has 

 had success with lilies this year espe- 

 cially, but the method he regularly 

 adopts is worth relating. The bulbs 

 are potted upon receipt into a 4'o-inch 

 pot with plenty of drainage (and, by 

 the way, a little sand around the bulb 

 as practiced by the old-time growers 

 will be quite in order). The pots are 

 given one good soaking, then placed in 

 frames covered with shutters to keep 

 off any additional moisture; when 

 sprouted sash is substituted for shut- 

 ters. The pots are kept in this stage 

 until room can be found for them in 

 the house, when the bulbs are shifted 

 into the pots in which they are in- 

 tended to bloom. The advantage of 

 new soil benefits the plant, which no 

 doubt is induced to grow better by 

 this action. This is a desideratum, 

 however, in most cases. W. M.

F. E. Palmer cordially invites all 

 skeptics to his houses, where can be 

 seen roses, both grafted and on own 

 roots, in the same house. Under such 

 conditions only can comparison be 

 made. In this case it is decidedly in 

 favor of grafted stock. I never saw 

 finer PapaGontiers; small wonder they 

 sell so well; such exquislLe color. In 

 commenting upon the season, Mr. Pal- 

 mer said it was the best he has yet 

 seen. 



Jas. Quinn speaks in a similar strain 

 and is being rushed with spring busi- 

 ness. Weddings and funerals have 

 kept him busy for some time past. 



Miss Vass notes as large demand as 

 usual for Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. 

 This lad.v was very fortunate with her 

 lilies at Easter, proving that Japan 

 bulbs can easily be brought into bloom 

 with the necessary attention. W. M. 



NEWBURYPORT, MASS. 



E. W. Pearson carries his roses over 

 the second season. He finds this 

 method profitable, particularly with 

 Woottons, which are exceptionally fine. 

 Just now roses are plentiful, so the 

 capital plan is adopted in giving a 

 bloom to every purchaser of plants, a 

 paying advertisement. Considerable 

 addition will be given to space for 

 palms, and a carnation house 125x16 

 is in course of erection. Four acres of 

 fine soil is intended as a nursery to 

 supply local demand. 



Mr. Pearson's best man has left for 

 the front, leaving behind as a legacy a 

 fine lot of spring stock. W. M.
